Ingredients

  • 2 cups whipping cream You can also use heavy or double cream
  • Pinch salt

  • 1½ cups crushed Oreo cookies or chocolate sandwich cookies
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

No Churn Method:

  • In a bowl, combine the condensed milk, whipping cream, pinch of salt, and vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract.
  • Use a food processor, mixer, or blender to whip the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy.
  • Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies into the creamy mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture into a container that is safe to put in the freezer.
  • Place the container in the freezer and let the ice cream set for about 5 hours. This will allow it to firm up and become scoopable.

Using An Ice Cream Maker:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, whipping cream, salt, and vanilla until well combined.
  • Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes to chill. This step helps the mixture get cold and ready for churning.
  • Take the chilled mixture and add it to the frozen tub of your ice cream maker.
  • Churn the mixture in the ice cream maker. As it churns, it will thicken and develop a creamy texture.
  • Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies into the churned ice cream.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container.
  • Place the container in the freezer and allow the ice cream to freeze until it's ready to be served.

Notes

Approximately 6 servings, with each serving being about 1 scoop of delicious cookies & cream ice cream.
Tips:
  • For beginners, the no-churn method is simpler and requires fewer tools.
  • When folding in the crushed cookies, use a gentle hand to maintain the creamy texture.
  • Allow the ice cream to soften slightly before scooping for easier serving.
